Embedded hardware / PCB design / vehicle electronics
Matthew McConnell
Electrical engineering student building custom PCBs, embedded systems, and the tooling around them.
Hardware, firmware, and visualization work.
Formula SAE context
Work shaped by packaging limits, noisy data, and real test days.
Many of these projects come from Sun Devil Motorsports, where clean design has to survive real packaging limits, noisy data, changing requirements, and the pressure of making the car work.
Sun Devil Motorsports
Open hardware development for ASU Formula SAE.
I work on PCB development for Sun Devil Motorsports, ASU's Formula SAE team. This repo shows the ongoing electrical development behind our team's vehicle dynamics data acquisition systems.
About
Electrical engineering student at Arizona State University.
I regularly work on custom hardware projects including PCB design, embedded systems, and prototyping, with a focus on clean design and practical performance. As part of ASU's Sun Devil Motorsports Formula SAE team, I collaborate on real-world engineering challenges that require rigorous testing, iteration, and teamwork.
I am driven by curiosity, attention to detail, and the satisfaction of building things that work well.
Software and skills I use often.
